NOTE: this email has been written around 2024-10-30 19:00 UTC, about 2.5 hours ago. As I was testing stuff, suddenly I got flags and *some* traffic on my node. It also appeared back in atlas as mysteriously as it did disappear. Nonetheless I’m sending the email, hoping it is helpful, and will report back in a week.
Can you check to see if your relay is in a similar situation?
In particular, the situation to look for is "Tor process is still running fine from your perspective, but, relay-search (https://atlas.torproject.org/) says you are no longer running."
Hello, I see the same with my node.
Prompted by a fall in traffic I checked relay-search a few days ago and found the relay is no longer listed. Going through the logs it seems there is no new circuits being made since October 23. In Nyx I see at most a few incoming and outgoing connections.
The node is mpan11 92A125B9AB491AFC084E4257B552D0FB56090CB3, and this is the first time in about 10 years I experience anything like that.
If your relay is in this situation, the next step is to check your Tor logs, try to rule out other issues like firewall rules on your side, and then (if you're able) to start exploring traceroutes to the directory authority IP addresses vs other addresses. If you need more direct help, we can help you debug or answer other questions on #tor-relays on IRC.
Traceroutes from the node listed in [1]. From two other hosts (French, German VPS) all addresses except maatuska are accessible, and the final hops are similar. I asked a friend (same ISP, city) to ping all the addresses that don’t respond and they confirmed no ping responses. However, maatuska seems to respond to ICMP pings.
Based on Ooni results, it seems that your ISP (AS5617) began blocking the Tor directory authorities on October 22.
https://explorer.ooni.org/search?since=2024-10-01&until=2024-11-01&f...
Other relays hosted by the same ISP appear to have also lost consensus:
https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#search/as:AS5617
If that helps, on October 23 I see some entries[2] I don’t recall ever seeing. This did happen when my network connection died for about 10 minutes around 01:20. At 22 I had to reboot the system and since then the node reports 0 circuits. But that may be just a coincidence and the responses might’ve been ISP’s modem interfering in some way.
